The BaseCap™ is the only cab-high canopy camper on the worldwide market. While it looks like and has all the storage capacity of a traditional truck cap, the BaseCap™ roof opens 180 degrees into a canopy camper with 6’ of sleeping space. Designed with the same high-quality and durable 1/8” aluminum shell as our other Skinny Guy truck camper models, the floor and cabinets have been removed, which allows the customer to have floor to ceiling storage space. Model shown is BaseCap™ 5.0. Specs vary by model. BaseCap™ models available: 5.0, 5.0 GLR, 5.5, 6.5, and 8.0.
